Puke-fins
Hi friends. It seems like it’s been a while.
You’ll forgive me if I gag sometimes during this blog. I, being the darling little wife that I am, have some muffins in the oven for matt. Matt, not me. I like blueberries as a fruit, but bake them in something and they emit such a smell…ew. Blueberry muffins smell like babies screaming. It does not warm my heart so much as make me want to throw up in a hat. So, that’s going on.
I’m also drinking a delicious cup of coffee this morning. Matt and I will occasionally go to BadA coffee on Sunday mornings before we go grocery shopping. In a touching (?) display of old person-ness, he and I buy a Birmingham News and proceed to ignore each other while he reads sports and I cut coupons. In public. Seriously, I’m an old person.
Anyways, the point is, BadA specializes in Kona coffee. It’s akin to Blue Mountain coffee in that it’s well-loved and expensive and fabulous coffee. To buy a bag of Kona Coffee is something crazy like $50. But a cup is a pleasing $2.25. so I got a cup. Anyways, that inspired the purchase of a bag of kona blend (I can’t be buying 50 dollar bags of coffee hither and yon), and we finally broke into it today and, survey says, it’s good.
Two paragraphs to tell you I like my coffee. Honestly.
Edgar’s been a special case of bad news for the past few days. On Saturday morning, after much tossing and turning, I just gave up and got up at 7 (and watched I Know What You Did Last Summer…such a bad movie). Then Sunday morning I spent about 5 to 7 arguing with my cat. It’s just his jumping around…I’m very convinced that some 5:30 morning our downstairs neighbors are going to trot up here and demand to know why I’m throwing bowling balls at my husband at 5 in the morning. It’s bad any way you slice it.
Eventually yesterday, matt coerced ed outside. He only explored for about 5 minutes, but he came in significantly cowed. This morning, at the first signs of wildness (I believe he was kneading the side of the bed) matt put him out. Which would be fine, except now I’m stressed because he’s stayed out. Of course, we’re trying to encourage him to stop being so nocturnal and get back to his previous, more human hours, so maybe it’s all right.
Matt was on the radio this morning. He periodically takes his football prowess to JOX radio station and he always does a mighty fine job. However, due to some unfortunate timing, I heard that Donna Summer song On the Radio yesterday and it’s been looping through my head all morning.
You remember a long time ago I watched High School Musical expecting it to be so bad it was good when it turned out to just be so bad it was really bad? Well, since then, my heart has changed. It’s because I, like millions of prepubescent twittering girls, have fallen under the magnetic spell of those blue eyes resting under the biggest eyebrows of all time, all occupying the face of one zac efron. Yes, I’m in love.
It’s curious, since one of the items I found to be most annoying about the original movie was his face, which I found to be oddly anime-ish. Blame the new-found love on hairspray. He was, undeniably, dreamy. Sigh. What have I become? I’m reverting to that Bop reading youth I once was.
Incidentally, I haven’t been able to watch the second HSM film (we don’t have Disney, sad!), but maybe it’s just as well. It would probably jostle me out of my reverie. Matt informed me that the third film, the one they’re planning to release in theaters, will be called “Haunted High School Musical.” That can only be terrible. I better wean myself off of this before it’s too late.
Remember how I told you that our little radio show was going to start podcasting? Well it has. I’m sorry to say, however, that, due to a slow week release-wise, this week’s program does require you to be a pretty big movie nerd to enjoy it. After we went through the box office stuff and matt and I derided The Invasion, the topic turned to Woody Allen. I really couldn’t contribute that much, since I haven’t seen many of his films. Anyways, give it a listen if you’re interested. I’ll try to keep y’all posted on each week’s podcasts. http://www.thecapstone.ua.edu/Podcast/Reelin/2007-08-26.mp3
Have a lovely day and enjoy this clip from the always wonderful Mighty Boosh.
